Hello,
I am looking for help in locating information on my grandfathers family.
I beleive he is from the Taverna ? area. He is the son of Desidero Sanzi and Marie Foresta or Forester. I beleive he was born around 1900 and imigrated to the US in 1922. He may also have served in WW1 and been a prisoner of war. Any information would be appreciated Thanks Karen

You didn't give your grandfather's name, but there is a Riccardo Sanzi, age 22, who came through Ellis Island on Jan 21, 1921. It says he's from Taverna and going to his father Desiderio in Providence, RI (there's a record of Desiderio coming in 1906 with some other Sanzi family). It also lists his relative as wife Carmela Pullano in Taverna.

Mike, I was just about to link this manifest but I'm glad you mentioned it first. I should wait for poster to confirm..

If this is the correct person, then the persons I found may have been related...Francesco, my Desidero father, lists Desidero in Taverna as his father and he also resided in Rhode Island.

Thanks for al the great info . My Grand fathers name is Ricardo or Richard Sanzi or Sanzio. He lived in Walpole Mass and Boston for a period of time. He died in April of 1983. I know he came over thru Ellis Island in 1922. He has relatives in Rhode Island Eugene, Frank and Helen . I was unable to find any info prior to this. Any Help would be appreciated. Thanks Karen

I believe this is the correct Frank . I am looking for Italien Info. My Mother is from his third wife Doris , His second wife was Alta Sanzi .
I can't find any info on his first wife Carmella or if there are any children which may be my moms have siblings . Thanks Karen

Well then most likely this is the record that Mike found.

There are still people with the Pullano surname living in your town. This is a link to the Italian Phone Listings..

Now that you have the town of origin, you will be able to trace your family through the LDS Church (Mormans) films of the civil records (birth, marriage & death acts) for the town of Taverna. The films cover the years 1811-1910. Here is link to the available films.
